Chapter 178: To get a heroine, you don't need to be pushy. Just use this trick

There were two reasons why Eiji bothered to come here.

First to change the plot more in one day, he decided to kill Zolgear early just like that guy wanted to kidnap Mio earlier than the original work.

No holy mother, Eiji didn't even care what impact happened after the people in Demon Realm knew Zolgear had been killed. Scum like Zolgear had quite a high status as a member of the Demon Council affiliated with the Demon King Faction. Killing him was the same as provoking the people in that faction, but so what? Eiji still didn't care.

Not satisfied with what he did? Those people could come looking for him and Eiji wouldn't feel guilty for reducing a few percent of the Demon population in this world.

Especially if those people dared to do something to his women, or even his future women like when he saw Zolgear wanting to whip Zest. Eiji had no mercy on people like that.

There was a little tolerance if it was a protagonist or heroine because he was worried about profit and loss, but a small villain like Zolgear? No need to say.

Now Eiji stared at the brown-skinned beauty who was still kneeling and looking at him with a slight tremble.

The second reason why he came here was of course for that woman. Unlike the disgusted expression he showed Zolgear, he looked at Zest with a gentle smile.

[Damn. Is this woman afraid of me? Although she didn't show it on her face. I can see the fear in her eyes. Ah... Zest, don't be afraid, I won't kill you. I actually came here just to release you from scum like Zolgear. After I killed him, you are now free. Should I say that? Will Zest believe it?]

"Demoness, we meet again. How was it? Were you surprised? Are you angry and want revenge because I killed your master? I heard before the old man died, your name was Zest? Nice name. By the way blame your master because he dared to have ideas on a girl I know." Eiji stopped smiling and looked at the woman calmly. "He died because of that."

"...." Zest stared at the man who had previously smiled gently and was now suddenly staring at her with a calm expression. If she could not hear his inner voice, she thought this man would kill her too. But no, she did not know why even though she had attacked and tried to kidnap Mio Naruse. Instead of hating her, Eiji had killed Zolgear to free her from that man.

Did Zest hate Eiji for killing Zolgear? She didn't, she wasn't even sad or angry about her master's death. She was also not angry that Eiji had killed Zolgear who could be called her father for creating her. It wasn't that Zest was emotionless and cold-hearted, it was just that it was hard to feel anything for someone like Zolgear who had never treated her well.

The only feeling she had over Zolgear's death was confusion. Especially when Eiji said in his inner voice that she was now free. She was very confused and didn't know what she should do after this.

The fear that Eiji might kill her had also subsided because she knew he didn't mean to kill her. As for revenge? Forget it. If Zest was angry or resented Eiji for killing Zolgear, she knew she could not defeat the man.

To Eiji's question, she shook her head expressionlessly.

"Oh? You don't hate me? Don't want revenge on me?" Eiji asked.

Zest shook her head again. "I don't have any ideas of doing that. I know I'm not your opponent anyway. Eiji Seiya, what do you want to do to me?"

"I won't do anything to you."

"You're not going to kill me?"

"No, I'm only here to kill the person who told you to kidnap Mio. I knew from the start that you were just following orders. So do as you please."

"...." Zest stood up slowly, she looked at Eiji with a complicated look. She was relieved that he really didn't want to kill her just like she said in his heart, but not knowing why, she felt a little disappointed. Wasn't she also one of the heroine? Is this man not interested in her? It wasn't that she hoped he really had ideas about her, it was just that now she had no purpose and no idea what to do.

Since she was born, she was used to following someone as a servant. So being told you are now free by others, instead of feeling happy, she felt uncomfortable.

"Speaking of your master's death. If anyone asks, you should not hesitate to tell the truth that I, Eiji Seiya was the one who killed him"

Eiji threw a crystal the size of a ping pong ball at Zest and the woman naturally caught it in confusion. "If they don't believe me and are as foolish as your master for underestimating me. Give that little thing to them, it's a magical device containing a recording of me killing your master as easily as killing a chicken."

Zest felt a little funny hearing the last one, but she looked at Eiji in confusion.

"Why did you go to this extent? Aren't you worried about the people of the Demon King Faction hunting you down?"

Eiji smiled as if hearing something funny. "No, I'm not. They can do it and I'll welcome them later."

[When that happens, they will never be able to return.]

That means you will also kill them just like you killed Zolgear, right? If it was anyone else, Zest would think he was too arrogant for looking down on the people of the Demon King Faction, especially the Demon King himself. But when it was Eiji who said it, Zest didn't doubt the man's confidence because she knew he was very strong and didn't know how strong he really was.

[Actually, I also did this so that those people wouldn't suspect Zest of killing her own master. Besides, in the original work I remember after Zolgear died. Zest who had nowhere to go would be picked up by a woman from the Moderate Faction, if I'm not mistaken it was Maria's mother, Sheila. After that, Sheila would recommend Zest to serve Basara. That's why in the original work Zest was able to join the protagonist Basara's harem.]

[Although Zest is a cold and calculating woman, under the influence of the protagonist's halo that lowers IQ, it didn't take long for Zest to fall in love with Basara.]

[This has nothing to do with me of course. This is all I can do, I'm not interested in stealing a woman that should belong to my own friend.]

?{Ahahaha! As expected of my host, this technique of feigning reluctance... You're very good at it.}

Miss System...

Can you please shut up? I don't understand what you're talking about.

?{Yes yes, I know, I know.}

"....."

For the first time Zest felt touched that someone cared so much about her. Eiji even bothered to record himself killing Zolgear and gave the recording to her to prevent people from misunderstanding that she killed her own master. Although the possibility of this happening was small because the people in the Demon King Faction knew she was a Demon who was bound by a servant contract with Zolgear. But still... She felt that Eiji was kind to her.

But hearing something else the man's inner voice said, she frowned. Zest knew she was one of the heroine, but she just remembered because of that she must also have something to do with the protagonist. According to Eiji's inner voice, she seemed to be a heroine in the same franchise as Mio Naruse. That meant the protagonist named Basara Toujou was her future husband because in the original work she would join his harem, right?

This harem plot... Zest who had no problem with harems, especially when she was a Demon who had seen many men in the Demon Realm also have harems. Even Zolgear, that man also actually had one although in his case they were sex slaves that he forced to serve him.

It was just that what made her uncomfortable and a little upset was that Eiji seemed to be pushing her to be with protagonist Basara. Zest had never even been in contact with the man in question, she only knew the other party from the monitoring she did on Mio Naruse. Knowing she would be affected by the thing called the protagonist's halo which lowered her IQ and made her fall for Basara easily. Zest was reluctant... Who would immediately accept if someone told them who their future couple would be? As far as she knew Basara Toujou was not bad, he was also strong and a genius of the Hero Clan.

But compared to Eiji... Zest knew there was a big gap between them and Eiji who could kill Zolgear easily was clearly much stronger than Basara.

What Eiji said was true, that man knew her much better than Basara, he knew she was a calculating woman. So of course, in this situation she compared which one was better between Basara and Eiji.

And she was actually more inclined to the latter.

Even so, Zest still hesitated and didn't really know what she wanted to do.

"That's it, I'll leave now."

Eiji could actually force Zest to become his servant or even his woman. But that method could only make him get her body, not her heart. Eiji knew he was fussy just because of this detail, but for him it was important to get a woman's body and heart simultaneously instead of getting one of them. If it was a one night stand fine, but for a woman who he thought could be his own woman he wasn't interested in having that kind of relationship with her.

He's greedy, kids make choices, he wants it all.

?{You mean kids make choices, adults want it all, right?}

Eiji pretended to be deaf even though the woman's voice sounded from his brain, he slowly made a teleportation magic circle under his feet to show Zest that he was really leaving.

"Wait!" Zest grabbed Eiji's hand frantically.

Eiji looked at the woman with raised eyebrows. "What what?"

"That's... I..."

Zest actually didn't know what was wrong with her, she stopped Eiji who was about to leave because she suddenly felt panicked as if they wouldn't meet again.

But after she stopped him, she also didn't know what to say.

It was hard not to be manipulative, but Eiji knew now that Zest herself was confused as to why she stopped him. This woman was confused and had no purpose, she stopped him just because she didn't want to regret anything.

Eiji put his hand in his pants pocket, he took a card from his wallet and gave it to Zest.

"What's this?" Zest took the card.

Eiji pointed at the card in his hand and said, "That's my business card. It has my residential address and contact information on it. I happen to have a job opening for some pretty servants.

"If you're interested, you can come to my house anytime."

After saying that, Eiji immediately teleported and disappeared from there. The women in his house must have been waiting for him to return, he wanted to rush home to spend time with them.

As for Zest? That woman was now left alone and stared at the place where Eiji had disappeared in a daze.

"...." She stared at Eiji's business card in her hand and without anyone seeing, a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Unfortunately there was no one to see that enchanting sight.

"Come to my house anytime huh?"

Meanwhile.

Toujou family residence.

Mio seemed to be in a good mood as they ate the dinner Maria had made.

Basara who saw this was curious of course.

"Mio, is there something to be happy about? You look happy even though earlier at school you almost... You know."

"Hm? Oh it's nothing, it's just that the food Maria made is delicious." Mio said as she stuffed the slightly spicy hot tofu into her mouth. Unlike at school, in a house like this she was dressed more casually.

But the girl's casual attire accentuated her beautiful curves so much that Basara didn't know where to look when talking to his half-sister.

Maria who was still wearing her apron giggled. The loli also looked pleased and said, "Glad Mio-sama still likes my cooking so much. Onii-san, how about you?"

"I... Yeah this is very good. Maria, you're very good at cooking." Basara gave a thumbs up, he felt his heart itch a little whenever he heard "Onii-san" from Maria or even "Onii-chan" from Mio.

It was true what his father said.

Having two cute younger sisters is great!

Basara secretly vowed again in his heart that he must protect the two. Recalling the previous incident where Mio would have been kidnapped if not for Eiji coming to rescue the girl first. He was still weak, if at that time he could finish off the wild demons that were blocking him faster, he wouldn't need the help of others to protect his younger sister.

Therefore, he had to increase his power as soon as possible.

[Don't worry, host! I will definitely help you, don't forget to count on me!]

"...." If he could, Basara actually didn't want to rely on his system. Why? Because that thing always gave him weird quests to get rewards. Even so, he knew this system could indeed help him. Not only to revive his friends, but also to increase his power as quickly as possible by completing every quest she gave him.

"By the way Onii-chan."

Mio suddenly called out to him, Basara immediately responded. "Yes Mio, what's wrong? Do you need something?"

As a good older brother, it was his duty to help his younger sister who wanted something.

Mio looked shy, she hesitated for a while before saying: "Onii-chan, aren't you friends with Eiji?"

"Eiji? Yes, yes I am."

"Then do you have his contact number? Or maybe his WeChat?"

"....."

Basara was silent, not knowing why, but when Mio asked him about this. He felt sour in his heart.

Was Mio interested in Eiji after she was saved by him?

It makes sense, after all who is the girl who is not interested in the man who saved her. Especially Eiji, Basara had to admit his friend was indeed handsome and he was definitely a popular type of man.

But imagining Mio with Eiji...
